Our Boys.

|. Are you going to send your boy to
college next session! That il tho ques-
ton which should be considered now
in every household in which there is
boy old enough and prepared to com
mence the college course. And if by
any possibility the expense can be af-
forded the question should be answered
in the Affirmative. Our college year
commences next month. There are
higher institutions of learning in abuu-
dance in Virginia, whose doors stand
invitingly open to the youth of the
State, and where your boy could not
only set q thorough education, but
would he surrounded by the best
OF influences. Are you doing your
duty to your boy-are you do
ing your duty to your State and
to society in net making some sacrifice
in order 10 enable him to grasp the OPP
portunity that may be before him to
make his mark in the world ? We know
that the expenses of college course
look large, but You have month in
which to consider the ways and means.
Let mother and father resolve them
selves into a committee of ways and
means and see if 10y little economy
the appropriation and investment can
not 10 managed. We say investment,
because the pleasure and satisfaction OF
seeing boy scholarly and polished will
repay his parent, and no matter what
career the boy may choose he will
stand better chance for success by
reason of having liberal education.
One Of orr contemporaries, in discuss
ing few days ago "The Scholar in
Politics." remarked: The best of our
self-made statesmen would be still more
useful and potent, undoubtedly, if they
had more learning. That is not only
true of self-made statesmen, but of self
made men in all other walks of life as
well. None recognize this more fully
than self-made men. We have never
met one of that class-and mono honor
that class more than ws-who did not
reeret that he had not been literally
educated. Finally, We would say to
parents, you cannot err in send
ing your boy to any one OF our
frst-class Virginia colleges, and there
is no excuse for vending him outside OF
Virginia to be educated. All OF our
higher institutions of learning are well
equipped, and have faculties composed
Of able, earnest, painstaking, conscien-
tious men, who consider it their duty
10 look after the moral as well as the
mental development of students. There
is no State in the Union where there is
more companionsbip between students
and professors than there is in Viz
ginia, and for this reason partially
there is no State in the Union where
there is less extravaganza and dissipa-
ton and more hard classwork at col
| leges.

twice elected 70 Congress, and whonovcr
was . Republican Tho Democrats Of
the North aided ms with money in 1869.
The convention that nominated
wnKrR styled itself "tho true Repub.
lican" Convention, to distinguish it
from the convention held in the inter
est of Republican carpet-baggers and
scalawses. The unblushing impu-
dence of MALONE is clearly shown
in The fact that be voted for
WALKER, and continued to vote the
Democratic ticket up to lS79-ten
years later Surely it required long
time TO convince him Of the error of
his ways; and there is nobody in Vir-
ginia to-day, in his own OF any other
party, that does not believe that he
would he q Democrat to-day If the
people had elected him Governor in
1878 instead of HOLIDAY.
at is TO be regretted" thinks Gen
eral MALONE, that the people OF Vir-
ginia refused to fellowship the SHER-
MANS, the TJTTLEs, the FAfRcHlDs,
the FRED DoUGLAssEs, the HoAIs, and
all other enemies ; for Virginia has no
enemies in the Democratic party. at
is TO be regretted" that the people of
Virginia do not vote with tho orators
and the papers that Willy them day
after day, and do vote with the orators
and papers that defend them on all
occasions and everywhere This is as
much as to say that the Irish people
ought to vote with the Tories and
against PARNELL and GLADSTONE.

nent Republican stated to-day ia aeon,
yersation bearing upon the meeting and
action of the Republican State Com
mittee at Senator Mahone's residence
that no one man or set OF men, outside
Of q convention. has any authority
to change the policy or declarations OF
tie Republican party on the doot
question. The State Committee,
said he. is composed OF thirty
mcmbers-less than one half OF tho
number Of gentlemen who met at Sen
a,or Mahones residence. The meet
inc was a conference to which Repub-
leans lad been invited. And yet, me
added. it is noticeable Tact that only
ore pefsun known as leader OF the
party was present. This was Hon.
John $. Wise. The public may
draw its own conclusions-that the
recognized leaders OF the party
were either not invited to the meeting,
or. if invited, declined to attend.
Many of those present were local lead
els Int with one exception. not leaders
in the State, and a number OF them
were secretly dissatisfied with the meet
ing. -,
The Independent Republicans will
give no expression of opinion until the
Republican address is made public.
They say it is apparent from the deyel-
op,nonis of the last day or two that
General Malone is again determined to
take the party reins in hand.

TEuK.-1he State of Connecticut did
not abolish separate schools for white
and colored children until 1885, and
not until 1855 was the separate-school
system done away with in Massschu-
sett. and not until 1887 in Ohio. The
Washington Post comments upon these
fscts-as follows:
at may be added that if there were
q, many negro children in these States
in proportion to white children as in
the District Of Columbia, Virginia, or
Georgia, separate schools would have
continued to this day."
No doubt of it. The northern peo-
pls and the southern do not differ at
all in respect of this matter.
BY the way, the Providence Journal
has never told us whether or not the
Rev. J. Benson HAMILTON, pastor OF
the Cornell Memorial Methodist Epis-
copal church, in New York city, told
the truth when he made the following
averment. lie said:
"What is tho unvarying custom OF
the Christianity OF the North ? 1t is
separation by the color line. In every
community of any size the blacks are
permitted or forced to worship alone.
They have shabby. dingy chapels for
the most part, and live at a poor dying
rate. They could be accommodated in
our large, beautiful, and prosperous
churches with ease to us and great
profit to them. Why do We draw the
color line? Is it not because the
knowledge ia universal that the aboli-
ton of the. color line and the intro
duction of the negroes among us, so as
TO make our schools and churches really
mixed, would destroy any church at
tempting it ?"

Now, what shall be said OF a man who

that the people Of Virginia have such a

can he deceived by statements like the

TO comment further on such mani
festo? Yes, We will notice another
statement which would be calculated
10 deceive the people il it did not refer
10 events so recent that every Virginisn
is familiar with them. NAHoSE says :
with the one or the other of these
great parties the people of Virginia must
fellowship politically il they would

country. 1t was with that one of these
two political parties which woald ex-
tend the more cordial hand OF renewed

yiatc the distressed condition Of our
people, and 10 promote the develop.
ment OF VirgIDia's resources, that the

the people OF the State should politi-
cally cooperate.
an Is to be regretted that 80 aoisc a
policy should haze been so quickly

they voted for WALKEg-WALKEa.
